Installation
! Before operating your new appliance please read this instruction booklet
carefully. It contains important information for safe use, installation and care
of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on
to possible new owners of the appliance.
Positioning
! Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. It can become a choking
or suffocation hazard (see Precautions and tips).
! The appliance must be installed by a qualied professional according to the
instructions provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to people and
animals or may damage property.
! This unit may be installed and used only in permanently ventilated rooms
in accordance with current national regulations. The following requirements
must be observed:
The room must be equipped with an air extraction system that expels
any combustion fumes. This may consist of a hood or an electric fan that
automatically starts each time the appliance is switched on.
In a chimney stack or branched flue.
(exclusively for cooking appliances)
Directly to
the Outside
The room must also allow proper air circulation, as air is needed for
combustion to occur normally. The ow of air must not be less than 2 m
3
/h
per kW of installed power.
The air circulation system may take air directly
from the outside by means of a pipe with an
inner cross section of at least 100 cm
2
; the
opening must not be vulnerable to any type
of blockages.
The system can also provide the air needed for
combustion indirectly, i.e. from adjacent rooms
tted with air circulation tubes as described
above. However, these rooms must not be
communal rooms, bedrooms or rooms that
may present a re hazard.
Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may necessitate
supplemental ventilation, e.g. opening a window or increasing the power
of the air intake system (if present).
Liquid petroleum gas sinks to the oor as it is heavier than air. Therefore,
rooms containing LPG cylinders must also be equipped with vents to allow
gas to escape in the event of a leak. As a result LPG cylinders, whether
partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or
storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.). It is advisable to
keep only the cylinder being used in the room, positioned so that it is not
subject to heat produced by external sources (ovens, replaces, stoves,
etc. ) which could raise the temperature of the cylinder above 50°C.

Connect the Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E” or or coloured Green
or Green & Yellow.
Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked “L” or coloured Red or Brown.
Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked “N” or coloured Black or Blue.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE ACCIDENT-PREVENTION REGULATIONS
RELIEVES THE MANUFACTURER OF ALL LIABILITY.
Gas connection
The appliance should be connected to the main gas supply or to a gas
cylinder in compliance with current national regulations. Before carrying out
the connection, make sure the cooker is compatible with the gas supply you
wish to use. If this is not the case, follow the instructions indicated in the
paragraph “Adapting to different types of gas.”
When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which
complies with current national regulations.
! Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent with the values
indicated in Table 1 (“Burner and nozzle specications”). This will ensure the
safe operation and longevity of your appliance while maintaining efcient
energy consumption.
Connection with a rigid pipe (copper or steel)
! Connection to the gas system must be carried out in such a way as not to
place any strain of any kind on the appliance.
There is an adjustable L-shaped pipe tting on the appliance supply ramp
and this is tted with a seal in order to prevent leaks. The seal must always
be replaced after rotating the pipe tting (seal provided with appliance). The
gas supply pipe tting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment.
Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a threaded
attachment
The gas supply pipe tting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment.
These pipes must be installed so that they are never longer than 2000 mm
when fully extended. Once connection has been carried out, make sure that
the exible metal pipe does not touch any moving parts and is not compressed.
! Only use pipes and seals that comply with current national regulations.
Checking the tightness of the connection
! When the installation process is complete, check the pipe ttings for leaks
using a soapy solution. Never use a ame.
Adapting to different types of gas
To adapt the hob to a different type of gas other than default type (indicated
on the rating plate at the base of the hob or on the packaging), the burner
nozzles should be replaced as follows:
1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off their seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a socket spannerof the appropriate size, and
replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas (see table 1 “Burner
and nozzle characteristics”).
3. Reassemble the parts following the above procedure in the reverse order.
4. Once this procedure is nished, replace the old rating sticker with one
indicating the new type of gas used. Sticker are available from any of our
Service Centres.
Adjusting the burners’ primary air

GB
Setting the burners to minimum
1. Turn the tap to the low ame position;
2. Remove the knob and adjust the adjustment
screw, which is positioned in or next to the tap
pin, until the ame is small but steady.
3. Having adjusted the ame to the required low setting, while the burner is
alight, quickly change the position of the knob from minimum to maximum
and vice versa several times, checking that the ame does not go out.
4. Some appliances have a safety device (thermocouple) tted. If the device
fails to work when the burners are set to the low ame setting, increase
this low ame setting using the adjusting screw.
5. Once the adjustment has been made, replace the seals on the by-passes
using sealing wax or a similar substance.
! If the appliance is connected to liquid gas, the regulation screw must be
fastened as tightly as possible.
! Once this procedure is nished, replace the old rating sticker with one
indicating the new type of gas used. Stickers are available from any of our
Service Centres.
! Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary slightly) from the
recommended pressure, a suitable pressure regulator must be tted to the
inlet pipe (in order to comply with current national regulations).

Start-up and use
! The position of the corresponding gas burner is shown on every knob.
Gas burners
Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following settings using the
corresponding control knob:
Off
Maximum
Minimum
To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter near the burner and, at
the same time, press down and turn the corresponding knob anti-clockwise
to the maximum setting.
Since the burner is tted with a safety device, the knob should be pressed
for approximately 2-3 seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the
ame alight to heat up.
Models are equipped with an ignition button incorporated into the control knob.
To light a burner, simply press the corresponding knob all the way in and
then turn it in the counter-clockwise direction to the “High” setting, keeping
it pressed in until the burner lights.
! If a ame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the control knob and wait for
at least 1 minute before trying to relight it.
Practical advice on using the burners
To ensure the burners operate efciently:
Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the ames
do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
Always use cookware with a at base and a cover.
When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.

Burner
To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in the section entitled, “Burner
and Nozzle Specications”.
! Make sure the pans do not overlap the edges of the hob while it is being used..
For maximum stability, always make sure that the pan supports are
correctly tted and that each pan is placed centrally over the burner.
Pan handles should be positioned in line with one of the support bars on
the pan support grid.
Pan handle should be positioned so not to protrude beyond the front edge
of the hob.
The more variable aspect in terms of pan
stability can often be the pan itself, (or
the positioning of that pan during use).
Well balanced pans, with at bases that
are placed centrally over the burner,
with the pan handles aligned with one
of the support ngers obviously offer the
greatest stability.
